Quality of Immature and Mature Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Seeds in Relation to Bio-Priming with Endophytic Pseudomonas and Bacillus spp.

Fruit maturity for seed production can occur at various times because of the continual flowering pepper plants. Accordingly, seeds with different are acquired as fruits collected in a single harvest. Immature obtained this harvest may lead to decrease quality lots. Therefore, research aimed evaluate influence four endophytic bacteria strains (Pseudomonas fluorescens strain L5b, Pseudomonas gessardii L13, Bacillus subtilis Bs1 and mojavensis ApBm) on germination seedling vigor immature mature bell seeds. To obtain levels, were 45–49 days after 65–69 The effectiveness these was examined by coating separately. Additionally, see activity more clearly, mock treatment sterile water added experiment control (+) group. Bio-priming (especially L13) improved emergence characteristics both lots compared groups (p < 0.05). results demonstrate that bio-priming beneficial be used stimulate from pepper.
